I'm the second choice
The tattered piece of clothes decaying in the corner
I'm the flower with no petals
The night without a moon
The kitten left of the road
I've walked this far
With a weight on my shoulders
Invisible yet heavy and invincible
I keep on trying to find
A place where I belong
So I can still carry on
I'm not the one I used to be anymore
So why do I still see
The same old ugly reflection in the mirror
Maybe I haven't changed at all
I'm probably still stuck against the wall
I've walked this far
With a weight on my shoulders
Invisible yet heavy and invincible
I keep on trying to find
A place where I belong
So I can still carry on
I've lived this long
Yet no one really knows me
They don't really look past the surface
And I wish that I could just open
The crowded box that holds
All the feelings in my soul
And I try to laugh
But my smile slowly fades away
For I know there is no escape
From this bitter fate
Look inside my heart
And tell me what's missing
I just don't know where to go
Take a look at my face
And tell me what's wrong
I wish I wasn't who I am
Look inside my heart
And tell me what's missing
I just don't know where to go
Take a look at my face
And tell me what's wrong
I wish I was someone else
Tremendous lack of confidence
I work each and every day
With pain as a sole reward
Tremendous lack of happiness
I ache each and every day
Darkness as my sole refuge
